Swain drive provides coats for needy

People can drop off gently used or new winter clothing articles for children and adults at any Swain County governmental facility such as the County Administration Building, Health Dept., Social Services, all Swain County Schools, the bus garage and the Swain County Chamber of Commerce. Items may include coats, sweaters, jackets, hats, gloves, toboggans, or sweatshirts.

Last year, more than 400 clothing articles were accumulated and distributed by the Swain County Family Resource Center.
